I grew up in the South Bay of California. Where sunshine kisses the ocean and life moves a little slower. I was always the friend with a camera in hand, documenting concerts, laughter, and late night adventures. It wasn't just a habit, it was my way of holding on to moments that felt too fleeting.

In high school, I chose a photography class on a whim, unaware it would shape the way I see the world. I rolled my own film, developed in the darkroom, and watched images come alive in silence and shadow. Thats where I first learned the magic of pausing time and turning it into something tangible.

Years later I became a mother to 3 beautiful souls that get to call me mom. In 2022, I bought a new camera during the hardest chapter of my life- an impulsive decision that became a lifeline. Portrait photography became my love language when I realized how much lives in the in-between. In the curve of a smile. In fingers brushing hair behind an ear. A glance that lingers. A child resting their head against a mothers chest like its home. I believe beauty exists in everyone, its not always loud or obvious, but its always there waiting to be seen.

Motherhood made this all more sacred. It taught me how fast it all slips by. How memories soften edges and how photos become proof that we were here. I want to create images that your children will hold in their hands someday and feel you in them. Your laugh. Your warmth. Your presence.
